"Kill, kill, kill" The samurai of the Otagaki family and the ashigaru behind him also let out a huge cry in this most desperate situation, and tightly guarded the surroundings of Otagaki Terunobu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A twenty-member Kuroda family peasant squad, led by a small head of Ashigaru, is sweeping away the remnants of the possible Otagaki family in the city. As a result, the first to meet the counterattack team of Terunobu Otagaki.

"How is this possible, quickly, quickly form a formation, and defend on the spot." This small head of the ashigaru was quite quick to react, and soon realized the unfavorable situation, he did not immediately order a retreat, which would only be chased and killed one by one, and the best way now is to rely on the current narrow terrain to defend.

Otagaki Teruyan rushed to the front, slashing the spear stabbed in front of him to the side with a knife, but then four spears stabbed at the same time, several samurai of the Otagaki family, Ashigaru, rushed forward desperately, and two Ashigaru used their lives to block this wave of attacks on the opposite side. Several samurai took the opportunity to bully forward and hacked three of the Kuroda family farmers on the opposite side to death, and at the same time, the Kuroda farmers also took advantage of their opportunity to stab together and stab to death two samurai of the Otagaki family who came forward.

This group of Kuroda family's peasant soldiers was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and although they used the narrow terrain and skilled formation to resist desperately, the people of the Otagaki family also attacked desperately. Soon, at the cost of more than a dozen people, the Otagaki family surrounded and annihilated this group of Kuroda family's peasant soldiers.

Just when they found the second team of more than 50 people of the Kuroda family and prepared to attack, the Kuroda family sounded the horn of the retreating army, and hundreds of Kuroda troops immediately withdrew from the city according to the order, and returned the Takeda Castle Ninomaru to the Ota Agaki family, of course, the city gate had fallen to the ground and was in a mess.

The Otagaki family still wanted to snatch the Kuroda family's crashing wooden car, but when the Kuroda family retreated, hundreds of ashigaru and peasant soldiers firmly formed a large formation, and as the palace army behind the palace, they protected the collision wooden cart in the middle, and the Otagaki family could only sigh.

"Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey! "The people of the Otagaki family, at the original city gate, watched the Kuroda family withdraw to the main camp, and shouted excitedly, as if they had occupied Takeda Castle by themselves.

However, Otagaki Teruyan, who repelled the Kuroda family, looked at his own soldiers around him, but he was not happy at all, this time he could defeat the careless Kuroda family soldiers, and now the city gate is gone, and it is not repaired well in a short time, so how to defend it next time? Will the Kuroda family be careless next time? I think the whole army will come!

Dozens of people were lost on each side, and the Kuroda family and the Otagaki family were considered to be a draw in this battle.

After a brief rest, the Kuroda family lined up again that afternoon, preparing to attack Takeda Castle.

The Otagaki family simply built a dozen sandbags at the location of the original city gate, which was considered a dead defensive position. And the Otagaki family has completely given up the city wall, the Kuroda family's long-range attack is too sharp, and the Ota Yuan family is completely ready to send people to the Kuroda family when there is no city gate, and then arrange people and horses on the city wall, it is completely ready to send people to the Kuroda family, it is better to block them all at the city gate, waiting for a white-knuckle battle with the Kuroda family.

Now that the Otagaki family had abandoned the city walls, the Kuroda family did not send out any more wood-ramming carts and long-range attack troops, but simply pressed almost all of the infantry reserves.

The hundreds of soldiers who blocked the door of Otagaki looked at the thousands of Kuroda family horses, all dressed neatly, taking the same steps, making a dull sound of steps, the muffled sound of each step, like a big hammer, smashing on their hearts, they were very uncomfortable to hear, and their hearts seemed to stop beating at any time because of this sound.

"Warriors of the Kuroda family, kill!" Nobuyoshi Umino held a big gun, rushed to the front of the line, shouted, and was the first to come to the sandbag at the original city gate. After spotting his target, he stabbed out with a single shot, just in time to stab down an Ashigaru of the Otagaki family. Just behind the samurai of the Otagaki family, he was stunned, and he had already jumped up and jumped into the crowd of the Otagaki family. I saw that Umino Nobuyoshi reacted for a long time, and in an extreme time, he shot on the left and blocked on the right, not only killing a stunned ashigaru, but also blocking the sword of the samurai on the right who wanted to sneak attack him.

Umino Nobuyoshi looked at the samurai, he was a very young samurai, and he did look a little jerky, probably a relative of the Otagaki family! Nobuyoshi Umino only glanced at him, but he would not have the slightest mercy, since he went to the battlefield and became an opponent, he had to have the consciousness of death. Nobuyoshi Umino used the tail of his gun to block the young samurai's move, and at the same time, he picked it hard, and his knife flew out of his hand, almost slashing a samurai behind him. Then Nobuyoshi Umino stabbed straight out, no need for fancy, no tricks, and sent the young samurai directly to Amaterasu to soak up the sun.

After that, Sakabuchi Nagadori and Funatsui Tsuji also rushed up with people, and soon after Umino Nobuyoshi, they further tore apart the defensive position of the Otagaki family. This time, the Kuroda family learned the lesson of the previous time, and in order to prevent another surprise attack by the Otagaki family, all the people who entered the city gathered together and slowly moved forward together. If the Kuroda family is still fighting separately under carelessness at this time, the Otagaki family still has the possibility of a fight. But the Kuroda family gathered together and slowly advanced, and the Otagaki family basically didn't even have a chance.

"My lord, the Kuroda family has already attacked Ninomaru." A samurai reports to Terunobu Otagaki about the situation outside.

"Get out!"

"Hey"

Terunobu Otagaki carried his katana and came to the backyard, where his main room, side room, and young children were all gathered together, and everyone had fear written on their faces, and they all felt that after the Kuroda family entered the city, they would not end well. Several children also cried under the influence of the atmosphere of adults.

"My lord, you can't hold it anymore, can you?"

"Hmmm! Let's all get ready for the glory of the Otagaki family! Otagaki said in a deep voice.

Hearing the words of Otagaki Teruyan, everyone knew that he couldn't survive, even if the Kuroda family didn't kill him, before the Kuroda family entered the city, Otagaki Terugen would not let him go. So several side rooms hugged the child and cried.

"What are you crying about? This is not the time to cry, this is the consciousness that a samurai woman should have. Otagaki Terunobu's main room was dressed in a white kimono with a headscarf wrapped around his head, dressed as a heroic samurai, holding a spear, and loudly reprimanding the other wives and concubines.
